All the predictions with regard to velvet
both for costumes and their accessories,
have been realized the present season,
Wherever fashionable people have met at
CAV winter entertainments, there have ap-
reared these most superb dresses, both In
deep rich tones and in exquisite pale tints.
Not always have these materials appeared
in a complete dress, however, for just as
there are corsages of velvet with skirts OF
lace, tulle, silk etamine or embroidered
muslin, there are also corsages of net, lace
or India null, with skirts of velvet, with
portions of the diaphanous fabric draping
the skirt. Another popular alliance with
velvet is the soft beautiful faille Fran.

hardly new, as in the early winter season
they were thrust upon the trade with the
assurance that these most trying tints
would ''take" in America, the land of the
blonde and the home of the superlatively
fair. Not so, however, thus far. These
artistic fabrics still lend refreshing and
delicate vernal look to the show windows,
but have fallen most notceably short in
favor Of sale, either in dress fabrics or
millinery uses Gray, however, is trium-

Another Whisky Massacre.

The Vernon horror, by which every
passenger and all but one of the crew
of II lake steamer persisted, is proved
by testimony before the coroner jury,
To be another whisky massacre. The
captain was confirmed drunkard-
VIGOROUSLY so; had had dclirium
trcmcns on former trips. What the
company were thinking about. cntrust-
ing such man with the control of u
vessel, we can not imagine. The lone
survivor tcstiiicd: 1.-The captain was
drunk most of the time. and he was
very drunk when we left Chcboygan
last week. Friday night, the night
the steamer was lost he was as drunk
rs | ever saw him. and kept taking "A
drink every little while from bottle
that he carried in his coat pocket. II
the captain had been sober. don't be-
licve the vessel would have been lost.

back when he saw how badly she acted

The result of lifting the in
cubus of supporting the saloon-keep-

these men is exactly the same as that
stated above; the same result is
reached as IL their incomes were in

low one for Judging II great moral ques-
ton; but it is view of the case which
is, after all. most potent. Men respond
to Il touch upon the pOcket-ncrve more
quickly than To any other. Hence it is
legitimate, in the warfare against that
fruitful parent of vice and crime, of
lcwdncsS and debauchery. of sorrow
and misery. poverty and degradation,
to set in array the money cost Of the
rum traffic.
There are some things so priceless

of bright hopes and fondest aspirations.
back on the parting of the ways. when
he took the wrong road, that has led
him To death. No wife can measure in
money the value of husbands love

by the devil of drink. No son, dcfraud-

parent whose child is treading the
downward way, can measure the ire

the standard Of dollars and cents.
Let us then leave the consideration
of the irrcparablc damage thus
wrought by rum, and turn to- what
